[Anthene definita Butler]
Lycaenesthes definita Butler, 1899a: 342. Bethune-Baker, 1910: 26; pi. 1, figs. 5, 6. Anthene definita: Stempffer, 1954c: 349.
This is another species with curious distribution. Its principal range is in eastern Africa from Abyssinia south to the Cape, as well as from Cameroon (northern ?) and Congo (northern ?). Stempffer, however, has recently (1954c) recorded it from the Nimba Mountains in the Republic of Guinea, very close to the Liberian border. Its eventual discovery in Liberia would, therefore, seem quite likely.
